Funded Activity Summary

Glucocorticoids (or 'steroids') are among the most commonly used drugs in the world, chiefly used for inflammatory diseases. However, they have major predictable side effects that have been known for over 60 years. Science has, til now, failed to deliver an alternative that delivers the effects of steroids without the side effects. This application is for funds to support the development of the discovery of the protein known as GILZ towards a treatment to help patients.
